I’m reviewing another Amy’s product. Amy’s Bowls with brown rice, black eyed peas and veggies. I have to admit I don’t really eat black eyed peas, but that’s only because I don’t see them for sale much in Canada. So I was curious to try this. I had previously tried Amy’s Brown Rice and Vegetables Bowl which was ok, and I wanted to compare them. This one I actually like better!
Here’s the ingredients, all vegan.
Nutritional information, a little high in fat and sodium as many Amy’s products tend to be. (For the portion size.)
Taken out of the package.
This meal actually looks pretty nice once it’s reheated. The veggies get a little overcooked in the microwave, but once you mix everything together it’s pretty good. I like the combination of black eyed peas and brown rice and it has a nice flavor. I’m definitely going to seek some out to cook myself.
Here’s my review breakdown.

Love, love, love it….hands down, my favorite Amy’s dish. It’s so savory and rich and flavorful. She has mastered the art of making delicious vegan frozen entrees.

I have tried nearly every Amy’s product frozen and canned. I am kind of hooked on the frozen goods and am looking forward to purchasing your EBooks to learn how to makeup own healthy home cooked meals. Regarding the Amy’s black eyes peas meal, It was my first taste of black eyed peas and I enjoyed it ( much better than some of the other Amy’s bowls). Now back to your EBooks, what do you suggest as the best way to print them. My old Dell printer will use at least two each of black and color cartridges, as well as paper- and not very crisp type. Can an office supply print them off if I download them? So glad I found your website :))

Thanks for your review….the first label does say that there is soy in the product…..it just seems too little food and way too much fat….but maybe in a pinch, not sure.

Ah yes no whole soy beans but there’s soy in the organic tamari.
